INTRO:
[A7] /[D7] /[G7] /[C]
[C] /[G7] /[C] /[G7]/
[C] /[G7] /[C] /[G7]/
[C] All the time in the tropical clime
Where they [D7] do the hula hula dance
[G7] I fell in love with a chocolate dove
While [C] learning that [F] funny funny[C] dance
This [C] poor little kid why she never did
A [D7] bit of loving before
So I [F] made up my [Fm] mind, that [C]I struck a [A7] find
The [D7] only girl I’d [G7] dare a-[C]dore
CHORUS:
[G7] I love a pretty little Honolulu hula [C] hula girl
(She’s the candy kid to wriggle)[G7]hula girl
(She will surely make you giggle)[C]hula girl
(With her naughty little wiggle)
[G7]Some day I’m goin’ to try to make this hula hula[C] girlie mine (This[C]girlie mine)
‘Cause[A7] all the while I’m [Fm] dreaming of her
My [D7] Honolulu [G7] hula [C] girl

My [D7] Honolulu [G7] hula [C] girl
[C] Out at the beach, with your dear little peach
Where the [D7] waves are rolling in so high
[G7] Holding her hand, while you sit on the sand
You [C] promise you’ll [F] win her heart or [C] die
You [C] start in to tease, you give her a squeeze
Her [D7] heart is all in a whirl
If you [F] get in a pinch, go [C] to it’s a [A7] cinch
When [D7] spooning with a [G7] hula [C] girl
